Nutella No-Bake Cookies… improvised edition.

This past week was one of my friends’ birthdays. My other friend, Molly Weasley, and I wanted to make it special for her. We’re in The Netherlands, in a dorm with no oven, so I couldn’t bake her a cake. So we found the next-best thing: no-bake cookies.

And one thing of which there is definitely no shortage here is Nutella.

So we tried to base the cookies on this recipe. However, we had to make some adjustments because, well, we’re in The Netherlands.

First problem: reading labels.

We tried to buy oatmeal. Apparently that doesn’t really exist here. So what we thought might be oatmeal was actually wheat flakes.

They also use a different measuring system here. 6 tablespoons of butter? Let’s attempt to convert that into grams.

Thank goodness for Google.

…then Molly cut it with a spoon because we were too lazy to go get a knife from another room.

Next we realized we had no measuring cups. Thankfully, I had saved a plastic container from the market (formerly containing delicious pesto) that said it holds 350ml, so back to Google we went. We found out that 350ml is about 1.5 cups. And we measured everything in it.
